EuroMaidan Revolution
Adrian Karatnycky: Yanukovych is playing with fire
Fires from molotov cocktails and burning tires, among other objects, have been a constant companion in the violent standoff between police and EuroMaidan protesters.
Ukraine's militia shot dead three protesters at the scene of mass protests in the capital Kiev Wednesday morning. Another had died earlier from beatings.
The deaths of these protesters were the first in independent Ukraine's 23-year history and came after the demonstrators had agreed to halt to violent clashes with the authorities in the hope of opening negotiations with the authorities.
